Intro to 1967: The Art of Don Sparrow

For 1967 I am very happy to be doing the review of the origins for 3 of my favourite DC characters. That’s right, I don’t only do Marvel heroes. The first is the most popular (but not original) of Batman’s female counterparts) and one of the strongest females in comics: Barbara Gordon AKA Batgirl. The other two are tied for first place of what I consider my favorite C list characters: The Question and Deadman. Because of my fondness for these characters I asked a good friend, DC comics expert, fellow Saskatonian and professional artist Don Sparrow to do a simple sketch of their heads over the year: 1967.

This is what he came up with.

I know, it’s awesome. He went way above and beyond.
